Chapter 98

"Um, my... menstrual cycle has indeed been a bit irregular, but I've been to the hospital, and they said there's nothing serious," Jiang Xueqing said in a low voice.

"It's not a big problem now, but if you don't pay attention, a small problem can turn into a big one," Qin Lang said seriously. "You're currently deficient in qi and blood, which is causing your menstrual irregularity. You need to eat more foods that replenish qi and blood, such as red dates, silver ear fungus, longan, papaya, and oats. And don't eat cold things, or you'll be in a lot of pain when your period comes."

"How do you know I'll be in pain when my period comes?" Jiang Xueqing asked in surprise.

"I'm a doctor," Qin Lang said, releasing Jiang Xueqing's wrist at this point. "Remember, eat more foods that replenish qi and blood and pay attention to your nutrition. It's actually quite simple—just eat more nutritious foods."

"Eat more... food..." Jiang Xueqing seemed a bit troubled.

"What, is eating so painful?" Qin Lang asked, puzzled.

"If I eat too much, I'll gain weight," Jiang Xueqing said in a low voice. "If I really gain weight, it will have a big impact on my art exams and interviews."

"Please, you're not fat now; you're too thin," Qin Lang said earnestly. "And if you have to be thin and look sickly for art, what's the point of such sickly art? Trust me, don't worry about being fat or thin. Quickly replenish your nutrition. Otherwise, you'll collapse before you even get into college."

"Okay, I understand," Jiang Xueqing quickly agreed, seeing how agitated Qin Lang was.

"By the way, Qin Lang, I heard that Lu Bin is going to study in the U.S.?" Jiang Xueqing asked casually.

"Yes, she's going to Harvard, a great university. She should be able to achieve her dreams," Qin Lang said calmly, but there was a hint of reluctance in his tone.

"Yes, people should always pursue their dreams. Besides, it's just studying abroad; you'll meet again someday," Jiang Xueqing comforted him.

"Yes, we will meet again someday," Qin Lang responded, then stood up and handed the towel to Jiang Xueqing. "Thanks for the drink and the towel. I have something to do, so I'll go now."

"Okay, let's talk again sometime," Jiang Xueqing said, taking the towel, her mood somewhat complex.

As Qin Lang stood up, he glanced into the distance, feeling as if someone was watching him.

However, the school grounds were surrounded by numerous tall buildings. Although Qin Lang's eyesight was slightly better than average, he couldn't see anything unusual.

Qin Lang thought it might be his imagination and turned to walk towards the school cafeteria.

At that moment, in a room on one of the tall buildings to the east of the school grounds, two young men were using binoculars to observe the playground. One was a man in his late twenties with long hair and a sinister aura. The other was a short-haired young man in his late teens, tall and muscular, at least 1.9 meters tall, giving off a sense of arrogance and dominance.

"Brother Yang, is this the kid who killed your father? He doesn't look like a three-headed, six-armed monster," the short-haired young man said, looking through the binoculars. "But the girl next to him is quite hot, much better than the girls at our school. Tsk tsk~"

"Qingjun, don't underestimate him. Although I didn't like that deadbeat father, I knew his skills were really good. Otherwise, the boss wouldn't have sent him to Xiaoyang City to expand the 'business.' But this kid will soon be in pain. He dared to take what belongs to me, and I'll make him suffer a hundred times more!" An Yang said with hatred.

"Brother Yang, what do you plan to do?" Qingjun asked. "Are you going to kill his father too?"

"Heh, the pain of losing a father and the pain of losing a wife are the most agonizing. So, I'll make him experience both, but I'll start by getting rid of his woman."

"Brother Yang, it's such a waste to kill such a hot girl. Why don't you give her to me?" Qingjun said with a lecherous smile. "Didn't you say the pain of losing a wife is the most agonizing? I'll take his woman, play with her, and then mercilessly abandon her. Wouldn't that make him suffer even more?"

"Fine, I'll leave this girl to you," An Yang said calmly. "But he has another woman. I saw her at the school gate today, and she's quite attractive too. I really don't have the heart to hurt her."

"Brother Yang, why don't you give both to me?" Qingjun said with a wicked smile.

"Deal with this one first," An Yang said. "That woman has a powerful family background, so don't take the risk. I'll have someone send her a 'big gift.'"

Just as An Yang finished speaking, his phone rang. He answered and said, "Alright, send the prepared flowers to her... Idiot, send them in Qin Lang's name. She'll definitely receive them personally! Make sure she receives them herself!"

Qin Lang said he had something to do, but it was just an excuse.

Qin Lang had some good feelings towards Jiang Xueqing, but it was just a good feeling. Undoubtedly, Jiang Xueqing was a beautiful and graceful girl, but Qin Lang didn't fall in love with her at first sight, nor did he have the kind of childhood friendship he had with Lu Bin. So, in Qin Lang's heart, Jiang Xueqing was a girl he could admire but shouldn't touch.

After parting ways with Jiang Xueqing, Qin Lang planned to go to the cafeteria for dinner, but his phone rang at that moment.

The call was from Wu Wenxiang. It turned out that Wu Wenxiang's mother had a headache, so he asked Qin Lang to come over and check on her. The old lady used to take Western medicine for pain, but since Qin Lang had cured her rheumatism last time, she had become a believer in his medical skills. So, when she had a headache, she immediately thought of Qin Lang.

Regardless of Wu Wenxiang's rank, he was a good person and a filial son, so he immediately contacted Qin Lang.

"Qin, I'll have my driver pick you up, and we can have dinner together," Wu Wenxiang said politely.

"Have Chen Jinyong pick me up," Qin Lang said. He was a person who would take revenge when he had the chance. Previously, when Qin Lang asked Chen Jinyong for help, he had treated Qin Lang with official formality. Now that he had the opportunity, Qin Lang naturally wanted to get back at Chen Jinyong.

"Alright," Wu Wenxiang agreed to Qin Lang's request. In Wu Wenxiang's eyes, Chen Jinyong's status wasn't much higher than a driver.

Although Chen Jinyong was now a deputy director and had his own driver, he didn't dare to disobey Wu Wenxiang's order because his future was in Wu Wenxiang's hands. If the mayor was unhappy, demoting a deputy director would be as easy as turning over a hand.

Chen Jinyong wasn't a fool. When he received Wu Wenxiang's instructions, he sensed something was off. After some thought, he remembered that Qin Lang had called him before, and he had clearly been rude. It was likely that Qin Lang had complained to Wu Wenxiang.

With a nervous heart, Chen Jinyong drove directly to the boys' dormitory entrance and then called Qin Lang.

"Oh, it's you, Chen Jinyong... Wait a moment, I'll take a shower and come down," Qin Lang said and hung up.
